God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Let us never surrender our judgments or our consciences to be at the disposal and opinions of others, and to be subjected to the sentences and determinations of men… It is my exhortation therefore to all Christians to maintain their Christian freedom by constant watchfulness. You must not be tempted or threatened out of it; you must not be bribed or frightened from it; you must not let either force or fraud rob you of it… We must not give up ourselves to the opinion of other men, though they be never so learned, never so holy, merely because it is their opinion. The apostle directs us to try all things and to hold fast that which is good (1 Thess. 5:21). It often happens that a high esteem of others in respect of their learning and piety makes men take up all upon trust from such, and to submit their judgments to their opinions, and their consciences to their precepts. This should not be so.
If you already know what the Bible says about homosexuality, don’t forget what the Bible says about all of life and godliness. We can be right about marriage and still wrong about everything else that matters. And if you like most everything else the Bible says, why would you on this matter of homosexuality decide the Bible suddenly can’t be trusted? If you won’t count the cost here, what else will you be willing to sell? The support for homosexual behavior almost always goes hand in hand with the diluting of robust, 100-proof orthodoxy, either as the cause or the effect. The spirits which cause one to go wobbly on biblical sexuality are the same spirits which befog the head and heart when it comes to the doctrine of creation, the historical accuracy of the Old Testament, the virgin birth, the miracles of Jesus, the resurrection, the second coming, the reality of hell, the plight of those who do not know Christ, the necessity of the new birth, the full inspiration and authority of the Bible, and the centrality of a bloody cross.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, confectioner's suger, sour
cream and coffee liqueur; mix well and set aside. In an electric blender or
food processor container, process cookies in small batches until finely
crushed (about 1-1/2 cups). Remove 6 cherries from cherry filling; set
aside for garnish.
To assemble dessert, spoon 2 Tbls ricotta cheese mixture into each of 6
(8-ounce) parfait glasses. Add 2 Tbls cookie crumbs to each glass; top each
with 2 Tbls cherry filling. Repeat ricotta, crumb and cherry layers. Finish
each serving with an equal portion of remaining ricotta cheese mixture.
Chill 2-3 hours before serving. Garnish with reserved cherries, grated
chocolate and mint leaves.
